In From Sail To Steam, this internationally recognized author presents a true accounting of the sailing career of her Dutch grandfather, Gerard Koper, as he transitions from serving on glorious full-rigged sailing vessels to the more sleek and efficient steam engines. This book serves as a follow-up to her first book, From Windmills To Waves.

Here the reader will enjoy the adventures of Gerard as he goes whaling, rescues stranded sailors from the high seas, hunts alligators and boars, and learns to defend himself and his crewmates from pirates and natives in Indonesia. In addition to tracking the routes of Gerard throughout the world and imagining oneself in such experiences, the reader should recognize the young age at which Gerard carried out such responsibilities. Gerard was truly a brave and courageous young man.

FINALLY!
Format: Paperback
I was pleased to finally find an historical series written for young boys that neither "cartoonizes" war nor adopts a satirical, demeaning tone. Rather, these books depict the true sacrifices of the men involved in these conflicts. The facts are the facts. There is no politically correct hogwash clouding the child's view of the event. These are more mature historical articles about pivotal events no longer discussed in our public school! These books glorify the ideals scrapped by post-modernists -- bravery, chivalry, and heroism -- ideals that once defined masculinity and limited its so-called "toxicity." As a mother raising masculine gentlemen, I will continue purchasing these fine books! Thanks, Mr. Giorello! Keep writing!
